SAN ANTONIO -- ESPN 150 outside linebacker Mike Mitchell (Plano, Texas/Prestonwood Christian) isn’t big on speaking publicly. He’d rather let his game do the talking -- and it speaks volumes.
On Monday, the 6-foot-5, 222-pound linebacker officially confirmed that he will announce his college plans during Saturday’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Oregon, Texas A&M and Ohio State are his three finalists.
Mitchell said all three schools -- and even a fourth, Oklahoma -- had their positive qualities throughout his recruiting process. It was a feeling of comfort, however, that seemed to win him over.

RecruitingNation has summoned its writers from around the country to compile a list of the top 10 battles for elite football recruits leading up to February's signing day.
The Ducks, of course, are in several battles to complete their class. Receiver Ricky Seals-Jones (Sealy, Texas/Sealy) is looking at Oregon, as are cornerback Mackensie Alexander (Immokalee, Fla./Immokalee), receiver Robert Foster (Monaca, Pa./Central Valley) and defensive tackle Montravius Adams (Vienna, Ga./Dooly County). None of these recruits are in the Ducks' region, but Oregon can make some inroads.
